    Joey gets black screen, need to change channel or reboot hopper

    Been fighting with this ongoing problem. I have 2 joeys and for the last month every day I am restarting the hopper or changing channels while watching a show in order to get the picture back. Called dish, they said everything looks good with hardware. They said a technician can come check my...

    monthly rates

    haven't been keeping up, but did the dish 200 and all others for that matter go up $5? I ask because my bill jumped and that was one of the items I saw as contributing to the increase. Wasn't sure if thats the 2016 adjusted pricing or me not paying attention to a promotion I had.

    5.1 audio in netflix on hopper.

    Noticed the other day that all my netflix content on hopper was stereo only. Normal TV is set to 5.1. The same content on ps3 shows 5.1. Is this a limitation of the hopper or me simply doing something wrong?

    Preparing for hopper

    Next week I am going from a 722 and 2 211 boxes to hopper and Joey setup. The lady told me it can be 2-4 hours, so I was curious if this is accurate, but more importantly, I wanted to gather information about what I need to get ready. Is it as simple as plugging the new boxes in or is it much...

    Dish Anywhere prompting for IP

    I have been using dish anywhere on my phone for the longest time. traveling internationally this was a good way for me to keep up with my local sports teams until recently. It would seem that for some reason when I got international, the app is now prompting for the IP of my hopper (I have a...

    Crap Picture

    722 Receiver, using HDMI connected to TV, as I switch between tuners (PIP), the one image is fine, but when I switch, the other picture is pure crap. Super grainy and fuzzy. I almost want to call it unwatchable. This is the first time I had this issue, so I am simply trying to find out if...

    Direct TV said they can't install

    A friend of ours got a new roof wick meant their satellite had to come down and be re-installed. But the installer said it must be installed and serviced from a ladder. This meant installing in the ice guard which voids the roof warranty. The end result, no satellite. Is this normal? I...

    Did something happen to all the regional channels dish had? Took like a week ago I was getting every channel in hd except say Canada and the new York teams. But now it seems a only a handful of games are hd. Games that typically are are not. For instance, tonight Colorado and Columbus no...

    cbc in hd on center ice

    Anyone else notice that tonight's flames game is listed as the cbc feed and it is marked as being HD. This is great, anyone know why though? I think it used to be like this a few years ago too for HNIC, but lately anything out of Canada was SD, so this is and awesome surprise this fine...

    Now that the NHL is done on NBCSN

    OK, so for the summer it is time to downgrade my service, but when I went to do it I got confused. Dish 200 and Dish gold are both 59.99, so what is the difference?

    VIP 722 Overheating

    My Hard drive has been making a lot of noise lately and last night I got the heat message telling me I cannot watch, 152 degrees. Is it safe to assume that the two are connected and to just get the unit replaced? Nothing else has changed in my setup, so to assume bad ventilation does not seem...

    RSN HD channels

    I was just curious if Dish has added any RSNs lately to the HD lineup. I know Center Ice HD depends a lot on that and while I usually get a few games in HD per night, I would like more. I look at the lineup on DirecTV and they always have way more in HD, often both home and away as well. Just...

    NHL Center Ice Lump Fee vs Monthly Installments

    I was curious, I was always on the single payment for Center Ice, but I wanted to switch to the 4 installments. Is this something that can be done? I want to contact Dish, but if it is not possible to change it, I wont waste my time. Thanks

    PFsense firewall and the Sling Adapter.

    I originally visited this subject about 8 months ago, but need to revisit. For a while, I went away from PFsense because the beta was jacked, but now that v2 Release Candidates are out it is much more stable. Except of course when you want to use the sling adapter. I have tried a whole ton of...

    Pfsense and the Sling Adapter

    Anybody know the right configuration of ports in Pfsense to allow remote access? I have added a few ports and IPs but every time new ones get blocked. I really dont want to put my 722 in a DMZ just to use the Sling Adapter. The strange thing to note is that the remote connection to start...

    HDD in my 722 starting to go

    Last night I was shutting down for the night when I heard a clicking noise. Upon further investigation, it is the HDD in my 722. I can now clearly hear it spinning and clicking, which I didnt use to before. Usually this means the HDD is going bad, so will Dish replace the 722 for free or will...

    Adding a 3rd receiver

    Was just curious, will it cost me more money from dish if I buy a 3rd receiver from DishStore for the bedroom. The time has come to go HD and before I go buying a TV and new receiver I figured to check what it might do to my pricing. I may get the 211 or 722, but will dish charge me for an...

    Eastern Arc Local HD looks terrible

    Not sure where my issue is, but lately, last month or two, I have been noticing my local HD channels via the Eastern Arc looking terrible. The picture is very grainy to put it best. If I flip over to the off-air HD feed, the picture is normal as I would expect. This is both on my 722 and 222...

    NHL Network Woes

    I guess I will learn my fate as early as Saturday. Last season whenever the Penguins games were shown on the NHL Network I would get blacked out, in CLEVELAND. For some reason they felt I was in PA. I would call Dish and they would simply tell me to tune in to FSN-Pit. Well, we all know that...
